On nights such as these the gods, as has already been pointed out, play
games other than chess with the fates of mortals and the thrones of
kings. It is important to remember that they always cheat, right up to
the end... -- (Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)

There was a polite beeping from the Thing. "You may be interested to
know," it said, "that we've broken the sound barrier." Masklin turned
wearily to the others. "All right, own up. Who broke it?" -- (Terry Pratchett, Wings)

"There must be a hundred silver dollars in here," moaned Boggis, waving a
purse. "I mean, that's not my league. That's not my class. I can't
handle that sort of money. You've got to be in the Guild of Lawyers or
something to steal that much." -- (Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)

Miura Bull brought up an interesting point of discussion, whilst I have always been a PvPer, I have always considered myself first and foremost a Pirate, I am both, I will PvP you to death... And then steal all your stuff.

I do not need to live exclusively off loot cause I got rich long ago from Piracy, but I can still pull in 2 billion plus a month from all loot and salvage from the unfortunate victims of my Piratical nature...

Not too shabby for an old man ;)

There's a quote in the About Me section that still stands to this day“Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.”

-- Feegle tactics (Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men) << This quote is one of my all time favourites

Last night I undocked one of my re-purposed Armageddon class battleships called Rob Anybody, the purpose of said undocking was to violence a Crane and Phobos who had strayed a little too far off the undock.

By engaging the Crane first I drew sentry fire and the fight was on, the Crane managed to crawl into dock range and dock up so I switched to the Phobos, a flight of Garde IIs, heavy neuts and pew pew lasers.

Next thing an Apocalypse battleship undocks and the fight gets serious, the Phobos is tanking well but will break, it senses that and crawls towards the station and docks up, I switch to the Apoc and things get interesting, a Hyperion undocks, a Loki decloaks and a few Thorax jump into system.

Splatter Girl was in system with her Thrasher, she had been around the area and helped me earlier when I couldn't break a rather stubborn Drake's tank with my Succubus. Her Thrasher of very little help on the station she recommended I deagress and try dock, I was way ahead of her, I had started to crawl towards the station, deactivated all modules and recalled sentries to stop full aggro, it was a race against the clock, their damage output and my massive passive armour tank.

With half the aggro clock left, they broke my armour and my structure started to buckle, fuel, and atmosphere venting through massive cracks in my hull, the clock continued to count down and with it my structure, sliver by sliver, second by second.

3 seconds, 3 goddamn seconds. I GF as I warp my escape pod to a celestial.

Splatter and I would later try to draw them off the station, their numbers had grown, including a blackbird, oneiros and a few cruisers, but they wouldn't give chase too far, eventually undocking a Thanatos and Archon as a show of force.

I went off and watched the Alliance Tournament, congrats to Pandemic Legion, well done and condolences to my friends in Hydra Reloaded

This wasn't my first loss of the night to sentries, the first though was a lot more fun as I warped a Bellicose into a frig gang on the Emolgranlan gate in Eifer, I shot first, took sentries, killed two, Splatter killed another two and I lost my lovely Bellicose.

Actually had a bit of fun with both those losses, pity I have to take sentry aggro but them's the breaks when you're a Boss. I do sometimes wonder what if I didn't have to take sentry aggro, that will be an interesting day.

"What sort of person," said Salzella patiently, "sits down and *writes* a
maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A
sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head. Opera can do
that to a man." -- (Terry Pratchett, Maskerade)
